I achieved my goal today, went to that cheap Barber's in Hillsborough for a hair cut, well they've put their price up since I last went from 4 quid to a fiver.

@MrAllen1976 when you mention all these places in Sheffield makes me home sick . I was brought up there and all my family live there tried my best to get back but couldn't find any housing suitable

Less than a month ago I had my windscreen replaced due to a stone chip. Today I hit a grouse/pheasant type thing that decided to fly out of the verge and into my windscreen just as I was driving past.  No visible cracks but going to keep an eye on it. I think the bird is having a worse day than me though.

@66Mustang Oh no!  I hope that didn't shake you up too much   Are you okay now?

66Mustang

@Cher_Scope yes I am fine now thanks it was a bit of a shock at the time though!!

I nearly hit a deer once at 1am in the morning, it too dived out of nowhere, ran in front of me while I was braking and then off into the dark night again, suprised us both!

66Mustang

@leeCal ooh lucky miss - I've heard they can do a lot of damage to a car and they can kill you if they go through the windscreen! Lucky for the deer too, of course!

My mission today is to belatedly find a bottle of ginger wine, my favourite tipple at Christmas.

I used to do bottles of homemade non-alcoholic ginger wine, & jars of cranberry sauce, & sold them to raise funds for our local hospital's neonatal unit each Christmas. We used to ask our customers to donate whatever they wanted, & some people gave £5 or £10 a bottle, & that was over 30 years ago!

My mission for today is to source an external hard drive for my Xbox Series S at the Flat either from Amazon or PC World or even risking eBay.

leeCal

Mission accomplished ? 

that was a nice nice thing to do @chiarieds!

@chiarieds sorry I couldn’t resist doing this, I use this website when anyone mentions money and history as I like to see what things costed in the past (I am always using it when I watch an old TV program like Fawlty Towers to see if he charged a fair price for the rooms etc. )

This is how much giving £10 in 1990 would be giving today. Very generous

So equivalent of a good bottle of whisky!

The link doesn’t seem to be working but the site is called “Measuring Worth”, if you search for that on Google it will come up.

My goal today is a fun one which is to wait until it’s dark and drive through the town to see the Christmas lights, and then drive to a neighbouring town which always has a couple of houses with very impressive lights on them to have a look at those.

Tori_Scope

That sounds lovely @66Mustang- enjoy! I remember we used to drive round the houses when I was younger to look at the houses who'd really made an effort. 

66Mustang

@Tori_Scope thanks  yes it’s great fun doing that.

Just to confirm we combined the trip with a trip to pick up a prescription so it wasn’t illegal

I kind of achieved a goal today, I got my gamer score to over 300 so far this month on Xbox thanks to Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and Fuser, mainly Fuser.
